Former commander-in-chief Syrskyi explains why he sent troops to Kursk operation instead of defending Pokrovsk

He explained that redeploying the limited Ukrainian forces used in Kursk to Pokrovsk would not have altered the situation, as Russian defenses on the Kursk front were weak compared to the concentration of forces in the east.
